2019 Buick Encore Preferred 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I puchased this vehicle NEW as a model year leftover.. This is a purpose- designed mini luxury SUV. Very sporty, peppy for it's intended use. Very quiet, very solid driving small car. My first imported vehicle at age 70. Having owned lots of GM vehicles over the years including a Skylark and a full sized Electra, I can state this is truly a GM-designed and built vehicle. The feel, look and performance will make you comfortable from the start. A looker, it receives positive comments from others. My first year's average fuel economy was combined mileage: 28+mpg, trip best: 39.7mpg. Oil usage:0. We did 14,000 miles for the first year. The turbo operation is flawless. I am a retired automobile technician. My wife is happier with this car over any other we've owned in 50 years.

We have never owned a Buick before but after doing some research and pricing we went with the top of the line Buick Essence. Its a zippy little buggy as I call it...just enuf room for my husband and i...the seats are comfortable - lots of front cabin room. The only thing I would like to see is a better arm rest and maybe one for the passenger . The middle console ( if you want to call it that ) is much to be desired from what we are use to...like the blind spot detection in the outside mirrors - also one of the features we wanted was Navigation and we got it..heated leather seats but no adaptive cruise control...which wasn't a deal breaker for us...over all if I had to do it all over again I personally think I would of chosen something MAYBE a little bit more roomier BUT like I said it's only my husband and I so what do we need all that space for :P

We hit a deer 5 months ago it caused the seat belt to malfunction on the drivers side. GMC cannot get us a seat belt and has no clue when one will become available. In the meantime the dealership won't release the car because of the safety aspect. GMC gas taken no incentive to help us get on either. Been a customer if GMC for years but after this they lost our business.
Drove as a loner and loved it.

While my 2007 Buick Lucerne was being worked on, Granite Run Buick GMC lent me this car because they had to keep my car overnight. I was delighted with its easy driving and I thought the car had excellent pickup with the 1.4L 138 HP turbo charged engine. The car has good room in front and was very easy to park. I ordinarily prefer a larger vehicle, but this was a really very nice car.

This is my second Encore, had a 2016. 2019 is much improved dashboard and front end styling. The car is quiet, comfortable and relaxing to drive. Decent mileage average 28 around town and 34 highway.
